I don't know the details of any of these, but I've heard people talk of them so I imagine things are in the works. > currently external of the Matterhorn project as an Affiliated Project of > Opencast (http://www.opencastproject.org/affiliated_projects)? Darn good question I haven't heard come up in discussions previously. There are two possible pieces here: 1. Could affiliated projects vote for opencast community board seats? 2. What is the process by which an established project could become an "opencast project"? I think we had (certainly I had) only considered new projects, so I think discussion here is important. What are your thoughts with how affiliated projects would look? With the broadening of the opencast community and a more clear separation that opencast is not just matterhorn, does it make sense for affiliated (as opposed to "sponsored" or something that implies a deeper connection) projects to fit somewhere in this governance model? > I am asking these questions under the assumption that the Project Governance > section of the document relates solely to Matterhorn. Hopefully my questions Right now this was the intent, and that other "opencast" projects would have similar (perhaps identical? this isn't mandated anywhere) governance models. Adoption of any of those opencast projects would entail the adopter to a vote for opencast board representation...
